History


The college was first established at Bankstown, where classes commenced with 88 students K–3 in 1998 and from there the school grew rapidly. The Bankstown campus has now reached its maximum capacity with 288 (K–6) in 2011. In 2002 the College grew further through the opening of the Liverpool Campus with 168 students, where secondary classes commenced with Year 7 then expanded to year 12 in 2007. The Liverpool Campus is located in the heart of Liverpool City catering for K–12 with 600 primary and secondary students.
On 4 December 2014, SBS hosted a special report on Al Amanah College regarding a program to prevent radicalisation. "There is a lot of violence, that's going on, that we see in the media, and in the news," said 2014 school captain Mohamad Zahab. "People have not portrayed the proper message, the proper beliefs about our religion, Islam. They've tarnished the name of Islam." Also, a Principal voiced his concerns regarding the students of Al Amanah College, "We are putting a lot of effort and stress on building the identity of the young Muslims, that they belong to Australia, their nationality, they are Australian, and at the same time, their religion is Islam".




Controversies


In 2023, Al Amanah College was ordered to repay $19.4 million in government funding after they were found to be operating for profit. An investigation found it had used its assets and income for purposes not needed to run the school, including purchasing a hotel which it operated until 2019.
